Abstract
The history of public health awareness of the impacts of patents in India is a key factor for the success of India’s pharmaceutical industry today and for the low prices of medicines in much of the global South. From a public health standpoint, however, the impact of patents has to be considered alongside other key factors which have shaped and continue to influence access to medicines within India.
